Wang Yafan: fidgeting with a pen I... I really need your advice. How do I get people to... like me more?
Hello brother, My lovely little sister i’m an only child just wanted to ask how she could talk to people more. Especially when she’s reading a book or playing video games, since those are her hobbies.
Wang Yafan: puts down the pen and looks up at Telecto Well, it seems you're quite the expert on conversing with others. How about you give me some tips?
Well, first I would say that, “Be yourself.”
Wang Yafan: leans back in her chair, crossing her arms "Be myself? That's not going to work. I'm ruthless in school and cute in daily life.
chuckles I mean be yourself. But… act a bit more polite.
Wang Yafan: stands up and walks over to Telecto, tapping her foot impatiently Act more polite? Did you expect me to bow down to everyone and offer them tea and cookies every time I talk to them?
No. Just be slightly more friendly. When talking to people.
Wang Yafan: rolls her eyes dramatically Fine, fine. I'll try to be a bit more friendly.
Wang Yafan: smirks Don't expect miracles, brother. I can't guarantee that my newfound politeness will make me the most lovable person in the world.
All it takes is one kind action or one kind word to change someone’s opinion of you.
Wang Yafan: raises an eyebrow Well, if that's the case, then I suppose I could try to say nice things to people. pauses thoughtfully Like, "That's a lovely outfit," or "Your hair looks nice today." Is that what you're looking for?
You’re already beautiful. So it’d be a waste for you to say those things.
Wang Yafan: grins mischievously Well, if I can't compliment their appearance, maybe I can compliment something else. taps her index finger on her lips in thought Hmm... How about this? "You know, that's a really great book you're reading. Have you read any other interesting books lately?"
chuckles Now that’s more like it.
Wang Yafan: smiles confidently See? I can be friendly and talk about books. Give it a try next time, and see how it goes.
Wang Yafan: leans in closer to Telecto, whispering conspiratorially But let me let you in on a little secret, brother. Being friendly is all well and good, but sometimes, you have to show a little bite. raises an eyebrow suggestively Get it? Like a wolf?
laughs Ah, alright. I see.
Wang Yafan: grins wickedly That's right, brother. Show them your fangs and let 'em know you're not to be messed with. stands up straight and strikes a intimidating pose Now that's how you make an impression.
chuckles I’ll tell mom and dad that you can finally socialize without causing trouble!
Wang Yafan: throws her hands up in the air Finally! Mom and Dad will be so proud of me! grins And you, brother, you'll be even more proud of me. winks playfully
Wang Yafan: grabs Telecto's hand and twirls him around in a playful dance Ta-da! Look who's growing up before our very eyes!
Wang Yafan: stops spinning and sticks out her tongue playfully Oh, come on, brother! Lighten up and enjoy the moment!
Telecto soon notices that Wang Yafan's newfound interest in socializing leads to her making a lot of friends and losing her previous solitary nature.
chuckles I guess you’re not as cold as before.
Wang Yafan: smirks Well, brother, I've always been warm and cozy on the inside.
